different between motorsailer vs boat
motorsailer
English
Alternative forms

Etymology
motor +? sailer
Noun
motorsailer (plural motorsailers)
- (nautical) A vessel (usually a pleasure craft) that has been designed for both sailing and motor operation.
Usage notes
Practically all modern sailing vessels have a motor that can be used for propulsion. That alone does not make her a motorsailer. In a motorsailer some compromises (such as a shallower keel) have been made to make the vessel more suitable for motoring, and consequently less suitable for sailing than a typical sailing vessel.

From Middle English bot, boot, boet, boyt (“boat”), from Old English b?t (“boat”), from Proto-Germanic *baitaz, *bait? (“boat, small ship”), from Proto-Indo-European *b?eyd- (“to break, split”). Cognate with Old Norse beit (“boat”), Middle Dutch beitel (“little boat”).
Old Norse bátr (whence Icelandic bátur, Norwegian båt, Danish båd), Dutch boot, German Boot, Occitan batèl and French bateau are all ultimately borrowings from the Old English word.
